I would get an Ohm meter or a multimeter(Harbour Freight $2.99) and Check the wires coming out of the switch and see where they go and what they do when the switch is switched. I think you should check the wireing diagram in the shop manual. there is more to hooking up a turn signal switch than you might think. You have to consider the front has two leads, there is a power in lead, a out to the flasher a connection to the stop light switch and a lead to each of the rear lights, and probably some I forgot.
If you mess up you can disable the stop lights pretty easily.

I had an aftermarket switch on it before,which I wired and removed. I have a new harness,it is the wires from the switch that I cannot identify,the tracer colors are too faded.If I could identify the color coding I could easily attach to the harness.I guess the ohm meter will be the way to go,thanks,chef- chevy

Maybe there is a way to enhance the wire colors, wipe them down with WD-40 it may be worth a try.

Some times you can look into where the wires were more protected and see the colors.
If Guide followed the same color codes this is how the 1950-52 switch was coded.

L F red, R F black,L R natural with black and green cross tracer,R R Nat. with green tracer,wwire to stop light switch natural,wire to indiactor (in switch housing) Nat. with black and red tracer,-----If this makes any sense let me know and I'll send you a picture of the wiring diagram--will be absent Thur thru Tues.
